Gantry Cranes

Portable Gantry Cranes

Portable gantry cranes are smaller lighter-duty gantry systems that run on casters or rubber wheels. These wheels allow the user to move it throughout a facility to handle various materials or loads. When they’re empty and not under load, they can be moved or stored anywhere throughout a shop or into different work cells to offer greater space-saving and floor space flexibility.

Powered Gantry Cranes

Most powered gantry cranes run on a v-groove track or ASCE rail. Whether on the v-groove or ASCE, each can be installed directly onto a smooth concrete surface or recessed into the floor to eliminate tripping hazards.

Drives

The span and capacity of a gantry crane determines whether a a powered gantry is motorized by either one or two drives.

Hoists

Powered gantry cranes are usually equipped with electric chain or wire rope hoists. These gantry cranes are usually used in heavier capacity applications or with increased spans.

Adjustable Gantry Cranes

Adjustable gantry cranes can be designed with variable height and span design. Adjustability allows the end user to change the height of the beams—offering more flexibility when transporting a gantry system in and out of a facility or through different areas of a shop.

Semi-Gantry Crane

A semi-gantry crane has one leg that runs on an elevated runway and one leg that runs on the ground. It is half overhead crane and half gantry crane. This allows for more usable floor space by utilizing an elevated runway located next to building columns. It also allows the crane to span only a portion of the bay.
